Rich Zeoli

Dr. Ben Carson—Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development & a Retired Neurosurgeon and Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show with reaction to last night’s conversation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on the social media platform X. During the conversation, Trump explained that the near assassination attempt in Butler, PA strengthened his belief in God. Dr. Carson agrees with the assessment: “the great spirit above” protected the former president. Plus, should we be concerned about President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline? Dr. Carson hilariously notes that if you saw someone like Biden get into the cockpit of a plane, you wouldn’t want to be a passenger on that flight! Dr. Carson is author of the new book: “The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture’s War on the American Family”—which he co-authored with his wife, Candy Carson.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- On Monday night, Elon Musk conducted an interview with former President Donald Trump on the social media platform X. According to initial estimates, the interview coupled with subsequent discussions pertaining to the interview generated 1 billion views. During the conversation, Trump said he would like to move education back to the states—as education nationally has struggled despite America spending more per student than any other country in the world. Prior to the conversation, officials from the European Union outrageously warned Musk about conducting the interview—suggesting it could violate EU laws that police “harmful content.” 5:25pm- During his interview with Donald Trump on X, Elon Musk briefly mentioned visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki—emphasizing that the cities, which were hit by nuclear weapons in World War II, are now capable of creating food that is safe to eat. Dana Bash and CNN pulled the clip out of context, inaccurately making it seem as though Musk was d

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- While the mainstream media gushes over vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz, numerous small business owners are taking to social media to speak out against Walz’s leadership as the Minnesota governor during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations (which caused billions of dollars in property damage) and COVID-19 shutdowns (which led to businesses being permanently shuttered following long-term government lockdowns). In one instance, Lisa Hanson—a small business owner—was thrown in prison for 90-days for violating Walz’s draconian COVID-19 lockdown orders. 4:20pm- Hackers Find Voting Machine Vulnerabilities, But There is No Time to Fix Them: Politico Cybersecurity reporter Maggie Miller writes: “Some of the best hackers in the world gathered in Las Vegas over the weekend to try to break into voting machines that will be used in this year’s election—all with an eye to helping officials identify and fix vulnerabilities. The problem? Their findings will likely come too late to m

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- In his latest article and video editorial, CNN chief national correspondent John King speaks with several undecided voters from Pennsylvania about the 2024 presidential election. Although, they said they were unwilling to cast their ballots for Donald Trump, most expressed skepticism of Kamala Harris’s far-left policies—suggesting they’ll likely vote third party. 3:10pm- On NBC News, a Pennsylvania voter condemned the economic policies pursued by the Biden-Harris Administration—blaming those policies for raising the cost of food, making it difficult to feed her children. 3:30pm- Rich and Matt will be broadcasting live from the Democratic National Committee Convention in Chicago, Illinois. Matt says he’s excited to try deep dish pizza—Rich is less enthused. Is it even real pizza? Plus, according to reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post, Chicago is expecting tens-of-thousands of anti-Israel protesters to show up to the convention. 3:50pm- While speaking wit

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/12/2024): 3:05pm- Green Energy Costs Automakers 2,450 Jobs: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “Stellantis is showing what the real green-energy transition looks like: On Friday the auto maker announced plans to lay off 2,450 workers in Michigan as it ramps up electric-vehicle production…Car makers are struggling to sell higher-priced cars as consumers pull back after three years of inflation. At the same time, the rich labor agreement that Stellantis, Ford and GM struck last autumn with the United Auto Workers is raising costs. The companies need healthy profits from gas-powered trucks to subsidize their money-losing EV production. Hence Stellantis’s scramble to slash costs. The company last month announced buyouts for salaried workers in the U.S. On Friday it said it will lay off as many as 2,450 production workers in Warren, Mich., where it produces its classic Ram 1500 pickup, as it rolls out a new electric model. Workers can send a thank you card to UAW

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been openly campaigning on a “No Tax On Tips” pledge for months. Also worth noting, Harris was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—which expanded the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and consequently its ability to crackdown on unpaid tips. 6:10pm- According to reports, at her recent rally in Arizona, Kamala Harris required attendees to provide identification before being permitted to enter the event. Ironically, in the past, Harris has suggested voter ID laws are racist. 6:15pm- Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales Stephen Parkinson explained that the United Kingdom will criminally punish citizens that repost messages the government deems “hateful.” He also explained

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- While speaking with CBS News chief election correspondent Robert Costa, President Joe Biden briefly mentioned Nancy Pelosi by name when asked about dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Biden quickly caught himself and pivoted. But as Rich notes, we all know Pelosi (along with Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and former Obama Administration officials) played a crucial role in removing Biden from the top of the Democrat Party’s 2024 ticket. 5:20pm- During an interview with Jen Psaki, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called Joe Biden one of the greatest presidents ever—but that he was not on a path toward victory in 2024, suggesting the switch from Biden to Kamala Harris was entirely about winning. 5:30pm- During his interview with CBS News chief election correspondent Robert Costa, President Joe Biden called Donald Trump a “genuine danger to American security.” Shouldn’t Biden moderate the rhetoric considering Trump was nearly assassinated less than a month ago? 5

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- NIH Violated First Amendment, Deleted “Animal Testing”: Emma Camp of Reason.com writes: “The National Institutes of Health (NIH) violated the First Amendment rights of animal rights activists whose social media comments were deleted by the agency, a federal appeals court ruled last week. The agency had been deleting all comments on its Facebook and Instagram pages that contained certain keywords related to criticism of the agency's use of animal testing. Comments containing words like animal, testing, and cruel were singled out for deletion as part of a broader policy of deleting ‘off-topic’ comments.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/08/06/the-nih-deleted-comments-criticizing-animal-testing-a-federal-court-says-that-violates-the-first-amendment/ 4:30pm- Biden Had Health Scare Prior to Dropping Out of Race: Managing Editor Noor Ibrahim of The Daily Beast writes: “Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department rushed to clear roads and

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- It’s Friday in the summer—and Rich is actually here doing a show LIVE! That’s two weeks in a row, for anyone counting.  3:10pm- On Thursday, podcasters Joe Rogan and Russell Brand seemingly endorsed Independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. for president. Given their large, dedicated fan bases will their endorsements carry enough weight to impact the election in any way? And did Rogan officially endorse him? Or were his comments misconstrued?  3:15pm- Clear Choice, a political action committee that is closely aligned with the Democrat Party, is actively seeking to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from state ballots—beginning in New York. The PAC argues that Kennedy lied about his Katonah, New York home address and, consequently, his signature collection campaign and ballot access should be invalidated.  3:40pm- According to the Washington Post, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with former president Donald Trump last month—prior to Joe Biden’s withdraw from the race—about endorsing T

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- CNN’s Brianna Keilar accused JD Vance of being an “imperfect messenger” for challenging Tim Walz’s history of exaggerating his military service. Keilar baselessly claimed Vance exaggerated his own military record and was a “combat correspondent” for the US Marine Corps—inaccurately suggesting the position isn’t dangerous. Vance responded on social media: “Brianna this is disgusting, and you and your entire network should be ashamed of yourselves. When I got the call to go to Iraq, I went. Tim Walz said he carried a gun in a war. Did he? No. It was a lie.” 6:30pm- Kamala Harris FINALLY answers questions from the press…for less than 90 seconds. If we are being honest, she didn’t answer anything that could objectively be considered “difficult.” She did say she would like to participate in her first interview since becoming the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee by the end of the month, but offered no specifics or guarantees. When will the press hold her accountable for run

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Jessie Jane Duff—Gunnery Sergeant U.S. Marine Corps (ret), 2024 Campaign Executive Director Veterans for Trump, & Ambassador America First Policy Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Kamala Harris’s unwillingness to speak with the press.

Duff emphasizes that Walz openly lied about “serving in combat” and benefited from the lie by being elected to office. 5:35pm- Donald Trump’s plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Billings, Montana due to a mechanical failure.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales Stephen Parkinson explained that the United Kingdom will criminally punish citizens that repost messages that the government deems “hateful.” He also explained that he will appropriate “dedicated police officers” to monitor social media. Similarly, UK Police Commissioner Mark Rowley has threatened to extradite and imprison American citizens over online posts. With Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz having stated that the First Amendment shouldn’t extend to speech the government considers “misinformation” or “hate speech,” could similar laws restricting speech be part of the Harris-Walz campaign’s platform? 4:40pm- During an interview on CNN, Scotland’s former Prime Minister Humza Yousaf accused Elon Musk of being “evil” and trying to start a Civil War. In response, he called for heavy government involvement in regulation. 4:55pm- Did Matt just play the worst return music in the history of The Rich Zeoli Show?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/08/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. During his address, and subsequent Q&A with the media, Trump emphasized the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign’s past endorsement of far-left policies—like a mandatory gun buyback initiated via executive authority, raising the eligibility age for Social Security benefits, and relaxed security at the U.S. Southern border.

Tim Walz of ‘embellishing’ his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/us-n
